What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
U.S. PPI rose 0.4% in August to 5.4% year over year, signaling stickier inflation and a higher-for-longer Fed path. Core PPI advanced slower, but energy and goods costs led the gain, with diesel up 24.1% and energy up 4.2%. The data pushed oil above $100 and lifted yields, weighing on futures and the near-term S&P 500 prospects.
